Weather in August
Temperature
West Pelzer experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C) in August, subtly different from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). An average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during August.Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
